Help!

I am 37, always been reasonably healthy except for a bad migraine condition

In the past 2 weeks I have suddenly begin to have the following symptoms:
Irregular heart beat, palpitations,some mild chest pain, extreme dizziness, loss of appetite, vomiting, insomnia, intense pain on the lower side of my back (almost in the hip/buttocks area, right side only)

This has continued almost continuos for about 2 weeks. However the last 48 hours I am having even worse symptoms..................the veins in my hands, wrists and feets seem to have shrunken to invisible, I have intermittent numbness and tingling in the hands, feet, face and scalp.

I thought maybe i was dehydrated and drank a huge amount of Gatorade last night which seemed to help for a bit. But now I feel about the same..not the numness, but chest pain and have added a hacking cough!

I know go to the doctor is the best answer. But I am hoping someone can give me an idea of what this might BE so I can be prepared. HELP!!

I wast just diagnosed with TMJ. I had been diagnosed with mitral valve prolapse syndrome when I was in my early 20's. When I was looking up information on TMJ, I found that some studies have shown that 51% of people with MVP will have TMJ because both are considered connective tissue disorders. I have all the classic symptoms of MVP and TMJ. Has anyone else heard of this? I don't see that information on some sites...and I know you can't trust a lot of health sites on the internet. I also have a lot of the symptoms of fibromyalgia too (never diagnosed and probably won't delve much into that because that is one of those "gray area" diseases that could be 10 million other things and I don't feel like wasting the time/energy on that unless something really goes haywire).

thanks!

to do with premature heart attacks and angina attacks

2006-08-17 04:07:33 · 22 answers · asked by Anonymous

Hi, i'm a 27 year old guy, reasonably slim, not overweight, non smoker but drink occasionally. A few months back i went to the doctors complaining of chest pains. I could feel my heart beating hard and fast and when this happened i became breathless and faint. My doctor did various tests and concluded that i was perfectly healthy. However i am still having pains, maybe once a week and in the last few months my girlfriend has been making fun of the increasing creases in my ear lobes. After a bit of reasearch i found this could be related to heart disease and may explain my chest pains. Am i correct in saying this and would i have enough "ammo" to request some further tests at the doctors. I also have fatty deposits on my stomach which is very strange as i am quite slim. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Tom

I went to

www.angioprim.com


They claim this prodcuts dissolves arterial plaque are cures much heart desease. Is this true? Does the stuff work? If so, why aren't more MDs using it? Are they that invested in angioplasts, the operation, which I know for a fact close up again 1/2 the time!

This product claims to dissolve arterial calcium and thereby unclog arterail walls which is really the main cause of arterial plaque and heart disease...

A reasonably reliable health magazine I subscribe to , claimed that painkillers double the risk of heart disease. One of my family members has already had a heart attack and my question is specifically targetted at Ecosprin. This is what he takes on a regular basis. Thankyou.

I am confused. I am 66 yrs old. My Resting Heart rate when last measured at the Cardiologist was 48 and my Blood Pressure 130/70. I have been a Runner for over thirty years and on a recent Stress test was able to go to 166 bpm at a workload of 240 watts. What I wonder about is a resting pulse pressure greater then 50 a warning sign.
